TRAILER: Crazy, Massive Cast Joins Steve Carell in Crazy, Stupid, Love

It doesn't rank as Steve Carell's first post-Office project, but Crazy, Stupid, Love will be the first chance fans get to see the former Dunder-Mifflin branch manager outside of the friendly confines of Scranton when the film is released on July 29. Not that anyone will notice Carell when Ryan Gosling's Situation-like abs are on full display.

Goodness! Wash some laundry on those suckers as you consider the plot of this one. Co-directed by the I Love You, Phillip Morris team of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, Crazy, Stupid, Love finds Carell starring as Cal Weaver, a Carell-type husband and father who gets his world shattered when his wife (Julianne Moore, doing most of the dramatic heavy lifting save for a Twilight slam) reveals that she cheated with another man. Adrift in the world after years of martial bliss, Cal puts his trust in Jacob Palmer (Gosling), a ladies' man in the mold of Barney Stinson. Cue some clothing and clubbing montages, a couple of dick jokes, and Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei and Emma Stone. Can Cal get his wife back? Will Jacob settle down? Have you seen this all before?

To answer that last one: yes. Part 40-Year-Old Virgin, part omnibus romcom, part Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and part "Ryan Gosling wants to show the world that his schlubby Blue Valentine physique wasn't permanent," Crazy, Stupid, Love seems fairly generic -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, isn't this the type of dramedy Carell should gravitate toward in his push to become a full-time movie star? (The less Evan Almightys and Get Smarts, the better.) It's not vintage Judd Apatow -- Cars writer Dan Fogelman is responsible for the script -- but Crazy, Stupid, Love has heart, wit, and those aforementioned Gosling abs. That the trailer prominently features the Grizzly Bear song "Two Weeks" is only gravy.

VERDICT: Kinda, Very, Sold.

If the trailer gets yanked down, head over to Apple.
